Missing Otterbox peotection
on January 26, 2025
Posted by: Jocelyn
Verified Purchase:Yes
I normally love otterbox cases. This one fell short for me. I understand the reason for the cutout around the camera button, it leaves the the whole area around the button too exposed. The entire reason I go for otterbox cases is to protect my entire phone, not MOST of my
Phone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, Jocelyn! The new and improved design works seamlessly with Apple's new camera control button on the Apple iPhone 16 line of our cases. Our engineering team not only found that the new notch does not diminish the drop protection of the case, we also re-engineered these cases to be Drop+ 7x rated up from Drop+ 4x rated on previous versions.

Scratches

This case is terrible in the sense that it gets scratched up almost immediately at the design on the back. This case costs too much to be an eyesore

Sturdy but discolors quickly and easily.
on October 31, 2024
Posted by: Marissa
Verified Purchase:Yes
Quickly became discolored. While it is sturdy, the overall look is very dusty and gross. I'd recommend only going for the darker color. I was excited about the purple and thought it looked nice, but even attempts to clean the rubber aren't making it look any less gross. I haven't even had it for a month and I already don't want to keep carrying it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Camera button cutout.
on January 3, 2025
Posted by: Chris
Verified Purchase:Yes
I honestly like the case, my only issue is the cutout for the new camera button. It is way too easy for it to hit an edge and crack the screen, which is exactly what happens to my wife’s new phone. If it wasn’t for me purchasing a separate tempered glass protector it would have been a big problem. I’ve owned countless OtterBox cases for my iPhones over the years but this part of the design on this case seems flawed to me.

Good but…
on October 4, 2024

Verified Purchase:Yes
Great case as far as thickness, sturdiness, etc. really the only downside, which I think is a big one, is the inch+ of unprotected edge near the camera button. I understand not wanting to cover the button, but nothing on one of the cases advertised as being most protective?
